This volume chronicles the skills and philosophy of Bob Stocksdale, one of
the world’s most influential woodturners, and his lifelong quest to turn the
perfect wooden bowl. Author Ron Roszkiewicz spent a week in Stocksdale’s
home work shop in 1987, and a bulk of the text of this book is based on
audio tapes taken from that week. Also included are never-before-seen
photographs from the Stocksdale visit.
